Peterman Brothers, a leading HVAC and plumbing company serving the Greater Indianapolis area, announces the fifth annual Peterman Brothers Charity Showdown, a month-long online tournament that has raised more than $270,000 for local nonprofit community organizations since 2020.

Each week in March, participating charity organizations are paired against each other in four single-elimination tournament brackets. Community members can visit https://www.petermanhcp.com/showdown to vote for their favorites, with weekly winners moving on to the next round.

"One of our core values at Peterman Brothers is giving back to the people who are working hard every day to make our community better," said Chad Peterman, president of Peterman Brothers. "In addition to providing much-needed funding, this is a fun way to support and raise awareness for organizations that are making a real difference."

Voting for this year's Peterman Brothers Charity Showdown starts on Monday, March 4.

Over the next 12 months, Peterman Brothers will set aside $5 from every Peterman Protection Club service call. The total amount collected will be shared by the four Charity Showdown bracket winners.  

Last year's winners shared more than $92,000. Since 2020, the Peterman Brothers Charity Showdown has generated $271,671.
